Through out the unit I found developing my work difficult at the start, but I knew I needed to find my theme running through my research which I figured was mainly pattern I was looking at. Once I established this, then the connection between practise and my research started developing my ideas and moving further.
Selecting drawings I did in the first 2 weeks because of the colour pallet, then having a play with the repeating of the image making pattern. I started to find outcomes I liked and wanted to work with.
I feel like I do use my time wisely and precision plan is key to this, knowing what I need to produce in the day in the studio but with it being a reasonable amount to achieve and being manageable, helped me a lot with getting samples made on the loom or knitting machine and getting things done progressively.
Learning that studio time is precious and any chance to be in and working is time well spent and best chance of getting my idea further along and progressing.
My contextual references influenced me and my work a lot, to make my samples more interesting and 3d. Bringing something more to the sample, other than something flat and 2d, making structure of it.
I feel like I am managing time wisely, using my time commuting on the train to note make or even task lists for the night ahead or the day after, so I am ready to get cracking when it comes round. Making sure I am in 5 days a week making the most of the facilities, using the macs or studio space or on a knitting machine or loom, so I am always moving on and developing. Using the constructive criticism and working on it.
I feel like i have been using lateral thinking when it comes to translating my ideas from the pages of my sketchbook and creating sample pieces, having a strong connection between them both. Taking the idea and creating it in a sample.
